The Captain from Kopenick
ComedyDrama
The 1956 movie based on the theater play by Carl Zuckmayer based on the true story of cobbler Wilhelm Voigt who dressed up as a German military officer and, with the help of unsuspecting soldiers, took over the city hall in Köpenick and confiscated the city's purse.
VIBE
A darkly comedic, yet surprisingly poignant, look at a man's audacious impersonation. It's a wry commentary on German bureaucracy and the absurdity of authority, delivered with a charmingly old-world feel.
